There will be a mistake in the end.

glanced at Zhao Zhenyuan's reckless words, but after all, it was not as careless as he said. No matter how detailed and subtle this plan is, they have missed one point from beginning to end: people can spare everything for self-preservation.

Especially a person like Chu Zhen'er, who has a vicious mind and hides deeply.

The words of the mouth were like water, Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Zhenyuan with doubtful eyes, and at the same time, Chu Zhen'er, who was bowing his head and begging for mercy, took this opportunity to bite back.

"Lord Rong is so anxious at the moment, is he afraid that I will say something in front of the emperor?"

Accidentally lost his words, Zhao Zhenyuan also stood silently aside at this time, probably understanding the meaning implied by Jiang De waiting in the corner: Don't say more, say more wrong! As soon as Chu Zhen'er stepped on the sore spot in everyone's hearts, her courage instantly returned, and she took advantage of the victory to chase after her.

"Your Majesty, if you really want to ask who knows the whereabouts of Sister Xiaoyu best at this moment, I'm afraid that only the confidant who is in the heart of Prince Rong knows best!"

Although these words were appalling, Zhao Yan's heart was bright, his eyes swept back and forth, and he asked Chu Zhen'er in a deep voice.

"How can you be sure that Xiao Yu is still alive?"

The matter has come to this point, Chu Zhen'er is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect herself, where can she afford to get rid of Huo Xiaoyu's thoughts, and she left a hand, and returned without hesitation.

"Emperor Mingjian, if you talk about this, it can be traced back to an incident that happened to the thief Wan Yan Yaoyang more than a month ago. At that time, Princess Yongning was injured by the six princes because of their greed for fireworks, and she came to the palace to complain to me, and undoubtedly mentioned that one of the two criminals looked very much like Sister Xiaoyu; I know very well that Sister Xiaoyu has been gone for so many years. It's just that I heard it by accident, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew that after the incident of Yan Yaoyang, the concubine was involved in the turmoil for no reason. I don't dare to defend anything in front of the emperor, but I hope that the emperor's sacred heart will not be confused by the villain, and the concubine will be innocent; Who knows"

"Who knows?"

Speaking of the key point, suddenly Chu Zhen'er stopped her voice and knocked her head deeper.

"The concubine dared to ask the emperor for a mercy to exempt the concubine from the crime of concealment"

"Brother Huang!"

"Eighth brother." Zhao Yan's eyes lit up, and he refused with a big hand. said coldly to Zhao Zhenyuan: "Don't worry, I can still distinguish right from wrong, and I will give you enough time to explain everything; This is the time of the concubine. You listen to it and think about how to get back to me. ”

Stopping Zhao Zhenyuan's words, Zhao Yan lowered his head and glanced at Chu Zhen'er, and said slowly.

"That's right."

"The concubine thanked the emperor for his grace!" Bow your head and salute. Chu Zhen'er, who was reassured, was also much more relieved. Continuing with the unfinished words: "Does the emperor remember the assassin in the palace a few days ago? ”

Zhao Yan looked stunned, and then his face was cold.

"Listening to what the concubine said, this matter seems to have nothing to do with you."

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood the meaning of the concubine, the concubine dared to swear with her life, and the concubine did not know the origin of the assassin. It's just that he appeared in the palace, but it was just to confirm the fact that Sister Xiaoyu was alive in the concubine's heart, and to convey a message. ”

As he spoke, Chu Zhen'er took the note left by the assassin Shura that day. Respectfully handed it to Zhao Yan.

"This is the note that the assassin left at the concubine, please take a look at it, the emperor."

Take the note. Zhao Yan looked down, and the note read: If you want to know Huo Xiaoyu's whereabouts, three days later, the "Caiyun Opera Troupe" in Yuqing Lane will be narrated.

Seeing that Zhao Yan had read the contents of the note, his expression eased a little, and Chu Zhen'er could quickly argue for his innocence.

"The concubine knew what a crime it was to deceive the emperor, but before seeing Sister Xiaoyu herself, the concubine categorically did not dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor with a note left by an assassin. The concubine was a little selfish, and wanted to make a contribution in front of the emperor to save the sacred heart, and her brain was hot, so she made this decision to go out of the palace without permission; I don't want to be self-defeating, so that the emperor thinks that the concubine has some bad intentions, and asks the emperor to learn from it. ”

A half-truth and half-truth, under Chu Zhen'er's clever words, it was actually round, and with her pitiful appearance at this time, it really seemed that she was burdened with a great grievance.

And Zhao Yan was worried about Huo Xiaoyu at this time, and he also temporarily let go of his discernment, and asked with a slightly anxious voice.

"Have you ever seen the person who left the note?"

"The concubine hasn't seen it yet." Chu Zhen'er pursed her lips, this sentence was a big truth, and she continued with full grievance: "Presumably, it must be the martial law in Sifang that caused the other party to be wary, so he refused to show up; When the concubines heard that the emperor was near Chang'an Street, they were also flustered."

The embarrassment after being flustered was all due to Zhao Zhenyuan, the high-ranking and powerful King Rong, Chu Zhen'er also swallowed it with difficulty, but her character must be compared, how could this account not be recorded!

Chu Zhen'er made a self-confession, and here is a temporary end, Zhao Yan tugged the small note tightly in the palm of his hand, and turned his eyes to Zhao Zhenyuan who was beside him seriously.

"You must have heard the concubine's complaint very clearly, but what should you say to me?"

Suspicion is like a seed, which has taken root in Zhao Yan's heart under Chu Zhen'er's manipulation, and this counterattack is undeniably beautiful.

However, Zhao Zhenyuan was also calm.

"The emperor's love for Sister Yu, all these years have been seen by the courtiers, if you really know what Sister Yu is, you can't bear to let the royal brother continue to sink in endless lovesickness? In the eyes of the imperial brother, it seems that the younger brother is just a courtier who may have a rebellious heart, but in the heart of the younger brother, you are still a respectable and respectable brother of Zhenyuan. Calm in your heart, no need to argue. ”

"You won't, but that Zhu may not be in the past, whether I have been fooled or not, she must know it in her heart."

"Brother Huang!"

Although he was able to clear himself up, he could put Zhu Xishi on the stage again, and Zhao Zhenyuan quickly knelt in front of Zhao Yan. But looking at Zhao Zhenyuan's anxious appearance, Zhao Yan's determination has never wavered.

"You have always understood the mind of a brother, so you naturally understand that you should not kneel in front of me at this time to plead for Zhu Xishi. If Xiao Yu is really alive, I will turn the world upside down, and I will find her out and ask her clearly. But you can rest assured that since Xiao Yu values her so much, then I will naturally think of her Zhu Xi, and I will not do anything to hurt her unless I have to. ”

Walking slowly and frowning, Zhao Yan walked closer to the door of the conference hall with heavy steps, and a cold wind blew on his face, blowing his face miserable and white.

Staring at the endless night, there was a trembling glimmer in his eyes, and he couldn't help but murmur.

"Xiao Yu, why do you refuse to see me, even Ah Heng is ruthless?" (To be continued......)
